WSJ: The Mystery Man Shadowing Kimberly Guilfoyle as She Pushes Deals Across Europe
Guilfoyle urged Balkan officials to do business with Aktor as the company paid a lobbyist $160,000 to build U.S. government ties.
- On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Kimberly Guilfoyle has repeatedly pressed Balkan governments to work with Aktor Group while keeping the firm's paid lobbyist, Christos Marafatsos, at her side during official meetings.
- Federal lobbying records show Aktor paid Marafatsos $160,000 through June to build ties with the White House, State, and Energy departments, though officials noted Marafatsos failed to disclose his role.
- This spring, Guilfoyle arrived in Bulgaria on a private jet provided by Aktor Group's CEO to urge business deals; Robin Brooks, who oversaw the Balkans on the National Security Council, called this 'absolutely problematic.'
- Marafatsos defended his work, stating he is proud to 'champion commercial initiatives that advance U.S. interests,' while Guilfoyle's lawyer, Jesse Binnall, said she has 'worked with companies across the energy sector' through official channels.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Guilfoyle an 'incredibly effective advocate for the President's agenda,' yet critics continue to question whether her meetings advance American interests or private commercial goals.
